in such an important market foothold can secure a key competitive advantage
for a supplier. However worthwhile, attaining and maintaining such a position
in the reverse transcriptase market is difficult due to the presence of
several key players. An effective competitive strategy requires a thorough and
nuanced understanding of market dynamics that this study is designed to
provide.
Based upon a 24-question survey of over 500 life scientist customers in the
North American market for reverse transcriptase, BioInformatics LLC uses
sophisticated statistical analysis, including a Brand Equity Assessment and
Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Analysis, to provide a thorough and nuanced
